Question

which of the following methods could you have used to change the font color of the text on the about us slide?
select the slide, and then select the font color from the home ribbon.
select the placeholder, and then select a theme from the themes gallery on the design tab.
select the placeholder, and then select the font color from the home ribbon.
select the placeholder, and then select the format background button on the design tab.

Explanation:

To change the font color of text in a slide (like the "About us" slide), we need to first select the text placeholder (the area containing the text). Then, the font color option is available in the Home ribbon. Let's analyze each option:

• First option: Selecting the slide (not the text placeholder) won't allow font color change for text, as the slide selection is for slide - level actions, not text formatting.
• Second option: Selecting a theme from the Design tab's Themes gallery is for changing the overall theme (including colors, fonts, effects) of the slide, not specifically the font color of existing text in a placeholder.
• Third option: Selecting the placeholder (the text - containing area) and then using the font color option from the Home ribbon is the correct way to change the font color of the text in that placeholder.
• Fourth option: The Format Background button on the Design tab is for changing the slide's background, not the font color of the text.

Answer:

C. Select the placeholder, and then select the font color from the Home ribbon.
